Boot Disk: Return to Castle Wolfenstein


Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!


Wolfenstein 3D is a fun arcade-like shooter that is considered one of the fathers of the modern first-person shooter. Roaming around a castle with an arsenal of weapons killing nazis and mecha-Hitler can't be bad, after all. That's the kind of ridiculousness you expect in a videogame! In 2001, however, id decided that it was about time to revisit their ancient classic and give it an update. Whether it's remake, re-imagining, sequel, or prequel, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is that remake and it's one of the better shooters of the early 2000s. The graphics still look alright, the level design is inspired, and the multiplayer component ridiculously good, so diving into the world of Nazi butchery after all these years isn't that bad of an idea.
